# How to edit the Guest Checkout option in Prestashop 1.5

Part of [the configuring of your order process](/support/edu/joomla/installing-joomla-without-fantastico/) in Prestashop 1.5 involves the guest checkout option. A guest on your website is any user that is adding items to their cart, but who are not a registered user of your site. This setting determines whether or not to allow customers to buy your products even if they are not registered.

 

## What is guest checkout like in PrestaShop 1.5?
